The Working Model is Changing, Are You Ready?

What’s the best post-pandemic working model — remote, hybrid or in-office? Workers and their employers don’t always agree on how to answer that question. The “we’ve always done it this way” approach has worked in the electrical industry for what seems to be forever, but it isn’t going to work for long. I hear my clients say, “My team can’t work from home…You can’t do this role from home”, etc. But what about those who can?

National Sales Manager/Director

  • Senior lighting sales professional with a background in several industries.
  • Exceeded goals for 8 years as a Construction Sales professional with the largest North American kitchen and bath manufacturer. She has worked with every aspect of the business locally and nationally. She covered key distributors, designers, plumbers, national builders growing the business while earning awards, promotions, accolades and a BMW!
  • Joined the number one lighting manufacturer in North America , managing a portfolio of large retailers and hospitals to deliver “White Glove” service in an exclusive national account program. Managed in excess of $35m of revenue per year via multi-year national contracts, only working with high-profile, high-dollar projects to deliver seamless results.
